My father was Patrick Brian Culligan, he went by Brian. He was born 1/19/1950 and died 6/27/1990 in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. I don't know a lot about my father's side, to be truthful, nothing really. PLEASE, if you have any information, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Kevin,

My husband's family is from Ennis, with Thomas Culligan (b., 1811) immigrating from there in 1849 or so. We are going to Ireland, and specifically Ennis, later this month. Does your family still live there?

Hi, trying to trace my great grand-uncle Thomas Culligan, born near Kilrush, Co Clare, Ireland around the 1860's (not fully sure of that), moved to Toronto, Canada around the beginning of the last century (early 1900's). Sorry, I don't have any more info but nothing available within the family, other than he may have lived at Thom St (????) Toronto. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Elizabeth Redmond was my great, great aunt and I have her listed as Beatty, Betsey and Boley as her first name, but these could be typos. I also have her signature on an autograph book of my grandfathers. I am very interested in finding out more about her parents James and Mary Redmond who emigrated to Williston, Vermont through Quebec and died in Williston in 1873. Please let me know anything you know about these ancestors.

Thank you,

Re: Culligan (c. 1819) in Ogonnelloe Parish, County Clare Found!

pjculligan20 — 2008-12-05 07:47:07Z

MARY CULLIGAN MICHAEL NORA ? 6 APR 1818
The above Mary Culligan was born in the Parish of Clooney/Quin about 20 miles from Ogonnelloe. I don't know of any Culligans coming from Ogonnelloe. There was two lots of Culligans in Co.Clare, one lot in the Killimer/Kilrush area of West Clare and the other in Clooney/Quin area of East Clare. Her father was Michael Culligan and mother Nora or Honoria ?, don't know her maiden name.

Culligan (c. 1819) in Ogonnelloe Parish, County Clare Found!

paddy_va — 2008-11-18 21:35:56Z

I have been searching for my great great grandparents on my McNamara side for many years, and last night I believe I found confirmation that they are Daniel McNamara and Mary Culligan from Parish of Ogonnelloe, County Clare, c. 1819.

I am also continuing to search for links to Moylans from Co. Clare and Kellehers from Macroom, County Cork.

Breakthrough!! -- My great great grandparents and more

A major breakthrough tonight -- I found someone else's family tree with lots of missing details back to my great great grandparents in Ireland, about 1819! This is excellent confirmation of the possibility uncovered by the research I had done by the Clare Heritage Center starting last October - that Patrick McNamara was baptized 14 December 1839 (see summary of report below). It was only a circumstantial possibility that this was my Patrick -- the new tree
(Cherie's Family Tree) confirms it and adds much more information and relations.

See Cherie's public tree at Ancestry.com. (Apparently, I'm not permitted to post the link here.)

Very interesting that Daniel and Mary (Margrit) are shown in this tree as residing in Eastman, Crawford, Wisconsin in 1880, then died in Normanby, Lincolnshire, England

Clare Heritage Center, in report, Ref: 25562, dated 30 April 2008,
stated that only two Patrick McNamaras were located as being baptized
in December 1839 in all of Co. Clare. One was baptized 5 December
1839, the other, 14 December. So, if Patrick McNamara was born 12 Dec
1839, as his tombstone states, he would not be the Patrick baptized 5
December, but could be the one baptized 14 December. Heritage Center
reports that it was common to baptize children within a few days, due
to high infant mortality. Location is Parish of Ogonnelloe, County
Clare. Daniel and Mary also had a daughter, Anne, baptized in
February 1842.

Therefore, this is the best available evidence to suggest that Daniel
and Mary Culligan were parents of Patrick McNamara, born 12 December
1839.

Re: John C. Culligan-Vermont/New York

I bought a old photo album that has the clipping of Rev. John C. Culligan pastor of Methodist Church Chamount Ny married a Daisey May French of Antwerp Ny Dec 18, 1900. The clipping is pasted to the back of the album. I've been going to Re do the album for my own use, but doing family research myself could not bring my self to destroy this information. There are other clippings pasted in the book, Cratsenberg,Henderson, Copley, Horton, Ryder, Pomeroy, Warner, who is one of my lines of research but different family. There is also the name of Tremper on pages. I expect it was a Warner who was owner as most pages have Warner Tremper Horton There are names on the pages in ink no photos. Hope this helps. I am willing to sell album if you are interested , for what I have in it. Jean Randow

Her name on the birth cert is Margaret Keevil nee Burne. From family memories lived in Co Cork and then went to Artaine school. On his marriage cert. his father is shown as John William Culligan (soldier and dad's middle name was now 'James'. It is possible the he had step brothers in the RAF.

My fathers brother, James Culligan, now passed on, married a woman named Clare. I never knew her last name. She still lives on the old Culligan farm property called Spencil Hill, just outside Ennis. Unfortunately I have not met her. I believe she remarried and had a child (son?). My mother may still contact her from time to time, and I know that my aunt Kathleen Culligan still has contact with Clare. If I can be of further help please let me know.
